You should be able to cycle your key on and off 3 times. It will display the codes in your odometer.

Code is P-0480 cooling fan 1 control circuit open / low speed fan relay?? don't know which it is yet but going to check now.What does the low speed fan do and where is it. Can't seem to find it in service manual. Do i need to go to dealer for service immediately or can it wait a while.

My manual calls that relay the "condenser fan relay". If you look in your Integrated Power Module (fuse box) in the engine compartment you can probably see a diagram of the fuses and relays.

The MIL light will probably stay lit until 3 successful engine runs have occurred.

P0480, for some unknown reason, will also be set if the fan clutch is faulty.

So it could either be the relay or the fan clutch (or a short or the PCM).

I did not get all of the codes last night other codes showing are p-0480,p-0483.p-0335,p-0336. I know what code are what could cause them to all shiw up at one time.

P-0483cooling fan open circuit/ or relay
p-0483 cooling fan performance
p-0335 crank shaft sensor
p-0336 crank shaft sensor performance
